Marvel's New Captain America' Is No. 1, Despite Poor Reviews
Briefly

Disney ramped up Marvel's production during the superhero boom but faced declining ticket sales due to quality issues. In response, they slowed the release schedule; last year, only one blockbuster movie and two Disney+ series emerged. The recent 'Captain America: Brave New World' topped the box office with an estimated $84 million opening weekend but received the lowest CinemaScore in MCU history and only a 50% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. While smart marketing ensured a strong start, the film's criticism indicates challenges ahead for Marvel's future releases.
After years of rapid production leading to diminished quality, Disney has slowed Marvel's output, yet 'Captain America: Brave New World' garnered strong box office results despite low critical reception.
Despite debuting at the top of the box office with expectations of $84 million domestically, 'Brave New World' received the MCU's lowest grade from ticket buyers, indicating potential issues ahead.
